Gathatoulie

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

concept formation (on truth and lies)

Fred said:

"Every word immediately becomes a concept, inasmuch as it is not
intended to serve as a reminder of the unique and wholly individualized
original experience to which it owes its birth, but must at the same
time fit innumerable, more or less similar cases -- which means,
strictly speaking, never equal -- in other words, a lot of unequal
cases. Every concept originates through our equating what is unequal."
